Five years ago I answered this personal ad:
Mint Condition
Male, 1932 model, high mileage but low maintenance.
Repaired parts, but new valves and fine exterior.
Not in running condition but idles well.
My reply:
Fixer-Upper
Female, built circa WWII, excellent value.
Strong foundation, normal wear and tear excepted.
Minor cosmetic defects. Needs TLC
Last week the Court decreed:
Divorce granted—false advertising.
